Answer Key

Question Answer Solution

Explanation:- (b) replace enter with broke


kyuki main clause past me hai to subclause bhi past me hoga.
break into (phrasal verb) - kisi ghar ya building etc me bina permission ghus jane
1 2 generally chori karne ke irade se

NOTE:- Yahan 'enter' ki jagah 'entered' nahi kar sakte kyunki aage wale part me
into diya hua hai, enter ke sath 'into' nahi aata kyunki 'enter' transitive verb hoti hai
and ise object chahiye.
Explanation:- Use ‘could’ in place of ‘should’.

Meaning based error hai ye.


2 1
What should have been a great disaster = Jo bahut bada Distaster hona chahiye tha.

What could have been a great disaster = Jo bahut bada distaster ho sakta tha.

Explanation:- Use ‘had to have’ in place of ‘must have’.

Main clause past me hai isliye 'must' ki past form 'had to' use hogi.
3 2
Iske aage ka structure causative verb par based hai jo advance verb chapter me
padhaya jayega.

Explanation:- (b) Remove 'be' kyunki 'must' modal ke baad ek hi main verb
4 2 aayegi 'be' and 'hurry' dono verbs hain. Sentence ke meaning ke according yahan
'hurry' main verb rahenge.

Explanation:-Use ‘could’ in place of ‘would’.

Meaning based error hai ye.


5 2
he would not find his brother = wo apne bhai ko nahi dhundega.

he could not find his brother = wo apne bhai ko nahi dhund paaya tha.

Explanation:- Use ‘born’ in place of ‘borne’

Both born and borne are forms of verb 'bear'. Born is commonly used with the
meaning "to give birth." Borne is used in adjective form with the meaning being
6 2 carried by. eg water borne (paani ke dwara carry kiya jaane wala) air borne (hawa
ke dwara carry kiya jaane wala) etc.

She was born in a log cabin in March of 1817.

This illnesses is caused by water-borne bacteria

Explanation:- (d) use ‘belongs’ instead of ‘is belonging’ Kyunki belong ek stative
verb hai, Stative verb esi verbs hoti hain jinhe hum 'ing' form me use nahi karte.

7 4 Like -feel, believe, smell, hear, listen, look, belong, have, etc.
Explanation:- Use 'should' in place of 'would'. Yeh 'should' word ka ek unique
use hai. Generally toh yeh modal hi hota hai par 'should' word conjunction bhi ban
8 1
sakta hai aur tab iska matlab hota hai 'agar'. Yahan sentence ke meaning ke
according 'agar' meaning dena hai isliye 'if' ya 'should' ka use hoga.

Explanation:- Use ‘affect’ in place of ‘effect’. 'affect' generally ek verb ka work


9 3 karta hai aur 'effect' noun ka. Infinitive 'to+v1' se banta hai, isliye yahan 'to affect'
aayega.

Explanation:- (c) use ‘being’ instead of ‘been’ kyunki past continuous tense ka
active voice me structure 'was/were + ing' hota hai aur passive voice me 'was/were
10 3
+ being + v3' hota hai. Yahan meaning ye dena hai ki 'ek book market ko operate
kiya jaa raha tha'.

Explanation:-Use 'studies' in place of 'uses to study'. poore sentence ko padh ke


pata chal raha hai ki yahan present ke habitual action ki baat ho rahi hai isliye
11 1
yahan present indefinite tense lagega jisme verb ki first form use hoti hai. Yahan
koi past ki habit nahi hai.

Explanation:-Use listening to in place of hearing.


12 2 listen - intentionally kisi cheez ko sunna.
hear- koi cheez sunai de jaana.

Explanation:- (c) use ‘is’ instead of ‘has being’ kyunki has ke baad 'ing' form nahi
aayegi. Yahan meaning ye dena hai ki audience gusse me hai kyunki magician
13 3
waisa perform nahi kar rha jaisa expected tha. Iske liye 'the audience is angry'
likhna best rahega.

Explanation:-Use 'would' in place of 'should'.

yeh modal ke meaning par based error hai.

14 2 friends who should love to stay at home = friends jinhe ghar par rehna pasand
karna chahiye.

friends who would love to stay at home = friends jo ghar par rehna pasand
karenge.

15 2
Explanation:- Use 'got used to living' in place of 'got used to live’ here the
structure is :-

got - linking verb

used - adjective (sub complement) (aadi hona)


to- fix preposition

living- gerund (object of preposition)

Explanation:- (b) Remove 'was’ 'man' commit action doer hai isliye verb active
16 2 form me aayegi isliye 'was' ko hatana hoga kyunki 'was+verb' ki 3rd form passive
voice hoti hai.

Explanation:- Use 'used to or would' in place of 'might'. kyunki yahan hume past
17 2
ki habit show karni hai.

Explanation:- Use 'tore' in place of 'torn’.

tear tore torn


18 2
'tore' verb ki 2nd form hai aur 'torn' 3rd form hai. Yahan 2 past ke actions ki baat
ho rahi hai isliye yahan verb ki 2nd form aayegi.

Explanation:- (a) use ‘defined as the’ instead of ‘defined the’

kyunki kuchh esi verbs hoti hai jinke baad 'as' ka use kiya jaata hai. like - define,
19 1 regard, describe, treat, know etc

kyunki in verbs me generally esa meaning banta hai 'kisi ko kisi ke jaisa manna'

eg - Kalidasa is known as the Shakespeare of India.

Explanation:- use 'upset' in place of 'was upset’.

20 3 kyunki yahan active voice ka use hoga na ki passive ka. Yahan meaning yeh hai
ki:- uski daughter ke unreasonable behaviour ne Mr. Gupta ko poori tarah se upset
kar diya.

Explanation:- Use ‘bled’ in place of ‘bleeded’.


21 3 kyunki 'bleed' verb ki forms ese chalti hain-

bleed bled bled

Explanation:- (d) Use ‘received ’ in place of ‘was received ’ kyunki yahan passive
22 4 voice nahi active voice ki zarurat hai. Passive me verb ka object nahi hota yahan
'compliments' object hai.

23 2
Explanation:- Use 'hanged' in place of 'hung.'
hang hung hung (लटकाना)
hang hanged hanged(फांसी देना)

Explanation:- Use 'dares to call' in place of 'dare call’.

Yahan koi 'not' wala ya interrogative structure nahi ban raha isliye yahan 'dare' ko
24 3 'main verb' manenge isliye uske baad call ko 'to call' karenge kyunki 2 verbs ek
sath nahi aayengi.

Note:- None ke baad generally singular verb prefer ki jaati hai.

Explanation:- (a) use ‘fled’ instead of ‘fleed’


25 1 kyunki 'flee' verb ki 2nd and 3rd dono form 'fled' hi hoti hai.

Flee – Fled - Fled

Explanation:- Use ‘could’ in place of ‘can’. kyunki yahan 'past' ki baat ho rahi
26 2 hai.

Explanation:- Remove 'do' kyunki yahan 2 verbs 'and' conjuction se jodi gayi hai
27 3 isliye 2nd verb apologise se pehle bhi 'would' modal understood hai.

who would go back on his promise and then (would) not even apologise.

Explanation:- (d) use ‘dug’ instead of ‘digged’ kyunki 'dig' verb ki 2nd and 3rd
28 4 dono form 'dug' hi hoti hai.

Dig – Dug - Dug

Explanation:- Use 'must' in place of 'could'.

yeh modal verb ke meaning par based error hai.


29 2
A soldier could fight for his country = ek soldier apne desh ke liye lad sakta hai.

A soldier must fight for his country = ek soldier ko apne desh ke liye zarur ladna
chahiye.

Explanation:- (c) use ‘like’ instead of ‘liked’ kyunki modal verbs ke baad verb ki
30 3
'base form' ka use kiya jaata hai.
